"Wakey wakey." The Majin girl said to Saiyan and Arcosian.
The first one to get up was Shivero, yawning and then jumping up to protect himself.
"What was in that wine? What did you do to us?" Shivero could feel something about himself being off, but couldn't tell what it was.
The Majin girl chuckled, and pulled out a mirror, showing Shivero his new form. He was in shock. He looked like a human, only with grey skin and blue hair. After staring at himself for a minutes, he heard Celrik start to move, and looked down at his partner. Celrik was now an Arcosian with white bio armor and brown gems.
"What happened?" Celrik said before opening his fully black eyes, to see a human Shivero.
"H-holy shit! What happened to us?" Celrik looked at his shaking hands.
"She's a Majin. Their race are all magic using tricksters. I couldn't tell before, but this confirms it." Shivero reached down to his partner, and pulled him up. "They're not evil. They just play pranks. I guess this bitch thought it'd be funny to mess with us. "
"Aw, but you both look so cute when you're mad. And I don't think you'd like to call me a bitch. Cause I'm kinda the only chance you have to get back normal. Bye!" The Majin girl waved at them, and the two were teleported outside the house.
"Let us in!" Celrik began banging on the door.
"It's no use. She's going to keep us like this until she wants to change us back." Shivero sighed reluctantly, and began walking away from the door.
The Majin girl opened the door, and Shivero rushed at her, only to be stopped by an invisible wall in front of him.
"I won't change you back if all you want to do is try to kill me. Besides, I need help." She told the two that and stepped outside the wall. "My father's in trouble. Some of these guys that looked like you," she gestured to Celrik," attacked my village and I had to get out, but I left my family. I can't beat them. You two might."
"Will you switch us back if we beat them?" Celrik asked.
"Yes. I need help first." Her eyes went soft, and she stared at the two.
"Fine, damnit. We'll help. Stop being pitiful." Shivero told her. "Where do we need to go?"
"Follow me." She started walking past her house, and waited for the two to catch up.

After a short time walking, Celrik looked over at Shivero.
"So this is how you feel everyday? The tail is so heavy. And my skin is weird. It feels like a tight suit." Celrik asked him, scratching his now hairless head.
"It's normal for me. Why do you have this stuff?" He pointed at his spiky hair and goatee. "This has no purpose. I thought it was like a helmet, but it's soft and weak."
"It's normal for me." Celrik retorted, surprising Shivero with his sharpness.
"Did the guys that attack you have any armor on them? Like spiked shoulders?" Shivero asked the Majin girl.
"They had something like that. The big guy had a cape, the smaller two had those shoulder pad thingeys. Why?"
"Shit, the capes for generals. The spikes are for lower ranked warriors. There aren't many warriors, but the ones that are, can kill both of us easy." Shivero thought about turning back. "And, who are you? How do we know to even trust you?"
"I don't know your names either. Mines Pepper, and you don't need to trust me, I'm telling the truth, whether you believe it or not." Pepper told them.
"I'm Shivero. I was an Arcosian." He said, putting emphasis on was.
"I'm Celrik. And why did you change us?" He asked.
"To unlock your potential. You're comfortable in your own bodies. In this, you can get powerful in other areas. In your original bodies, you'd get killed off fast." Pepper said, beginning to slow down.
"How fa-." Shivero got stopped by Pepper's hand in his face, and assumed they were close. He looked over her shoulder and saw all the Arcosians, gathered around a fire with pink flesh on a spit.
"What's that?" Celrik whispered.
Pepper gulped, "A Majin."
"Oh my god. Do you know these guys Shivero?"
"No. I didn't know anyone who were soldiers. Are you ready to go in?" Shivero began feeling his heart beat go faster.
"May as well." Celrik used instant transmission to get behind them, and got a red aura to surround him.
"Damnit he'll get himself killed!" Shivero said, as he ran in front of the Arcosians.
"Well, well. What do we have here? No, really, Antarc, what is he? He looks human, but they don't come in that color, so they?" The general asked one of his underlings.
The small Arcosian ran his scouter over Shivero, "He's a Saiyan. Weak one at that."
When Shivero heard the tiny creature insult him, he growled, and started to scream, which made him gain a dark grey aura around him.
"Nevermind, I guess this one knows how to hide his power." The small Arcosian got up and was pulled back into his seat, when Celrik brought his tail around its throat. The general stood up, towering over Celrik, and lifted him by his throat.
"Ingrate. Why're you here? Only warriors are allowed off world. Were you a bounty hunter? We can get a pretty penny for your head, even if you're not." Shivero flew towards the general, only to be caught himself. He struggled but looked over at Celrik, whose body seemed to be getting more and more red.
"Damn Saiy- Ow!" The general dropped Celrik and Shivero, now focusing on his burnt hand.
Shivero and Celrik decided to focus on the two smaller ones, both of them raising their power levels and expanding their auras, until the two colors began to mix together. They ran at the Arcosians, Shivero slamming his hand into the smallest ones gem, and Celrik wrapping his arm around the other's throat, focusing on heating his arm. Suddenly, the two were knocked back, after Ki blasts decapitated both of their opponents.
"I've always hated Tic the most. Always so full of himself. Now, which one of you burned my hand again? Oh, yes, the hotshot here." He laughed to himself, then walked over Celrik, stepping on his head, with cracks sounding through the field.
"Haha, it's worth it to not get the money. Now, you." He looked to Shivero, "Did you know your race has a legend? It's called the super Saiyan. I'd love to kill one, it's a shame that you don't have the capability to become one."
Pepper ran up to Shivero, and as he began to tell her to leave, she shoved some beans into his mouth, forcing it shut. He swallowed, and felt his body getting stronger, and his skin beginning to tear.
"What the hell is happening to him?" The general said, looking in awe at his opponent who's power was multiplied by ten, and his skin falling off, revealing Shivero's true form.
Shivero laughed, electricity crackling around him. He flew past the general, picking up Celrik and taking him back to Pepper. Shivero went back to facing his opponent.
"How did you-? What?" The general looked scared of Shivero, not knowing what to think anymore.
Shivero rushed at him, shooting ki blasts his direction every second, and then bombarding him with punches when he got close enough. The general was in too much shock to fight back, but wasn't getting hurt as much as Shivero would like. Shivero was getting tired, but his aura was shrinking and flaring up irregularly. Eventually, the larger Arcosian ended up fighting back, knocking Shivero into the ground.
"Damn shapeshifter." The general started kicking Shivero's gut while he was down, and eventually stopped to watch him writhe in pain. Shivero began pushing himself up, but the general's foot stomped his head down. Shivero fell back down, his breath slowing, nearly stopping.
Shivero heard the general laugh, and began pushing himself up, slowly getting the foot off of him. He hobbled away from the general, only to have him grab his horns and turn him around. Shivero tried flying upwards, pushing against the general's force. The general had to start pushing harder and harder, just to hold him there.
"You little-" He was cut off as his arms snapped and Shivero slammed into his head, knocking him down. He tried moving his arms, to no avail.
"Damn you, you filthy creature. If you let me go I won't do anything to you, but I've been transmitting this whole fight." He tapped his foot, showing his one armored leg, "And I won't say that the council won't have your head." The general started walking away, leaving Shivero behind.
"You're not going after him? Won't your people send someone stronger than him to kill you?" Pepper asked him, seeming to be genuinely worried.
"The council is dead. We helped you. Heal him. Change him back." He pointed to Celrik.
"I- I can't. His head was crushed." Pepper looked down at Celrik.
"Then help me right now." Shivero said as he fell onto her, knocking her down with his weight.

Sorry for taking so long, been busy with school lately, and I've not much time to do stuff. I'll probably never have an exact schedule but I'll try to be consistent. Anyways, the next chapter should come out within the next week, maybe sooner, maybe later, \_(0.0)_/ idk.
